He loved the water of Saint-Géron to the extent of extolling its virtues in his “Commentaries on the Gallic War”. Since then, Saint-Géron has marked different periods of history. Its name has been associated with great national figures such as the Marquis de La Fayette in the 18th century or regional personalities like Jean Casati in the 19th century.

Julius Caesar was without a doubt the very first Saint-Géron Lover!

A new bottling plant saw the day in 2006, next to the source’s catchment, dating back to the 19th century. The building is located in a historic and privileged setting, all the while respecting environmental and ecological norms.

promoting French excellence

Since 2005, a group of entrepreneurs-artisans have decided to support Saint-Géron as it reflects their values and convictions. Won over by the unique flavor and exceptional qualities of this water, they have offered to perpetuate the source’s story. Personalities such as Michelin-starred chefs, Alain Dutournier and Michel Rostang, the Mitjavilles (owners of the Bordeaux wine estate Tertre Roteboeuf) and the Billecarts (owners of Champage Billecart-Salmon) have joined forces in view of reviving Saint-Géron. A new generation of entrepreneurs, like Michael Klein, the founder of Cosmetosource and Aroma Thermes, have also willingly joined this initiative.

“Born and bred near the Adour River in Southwest France, I quickly came to respect and venerate water, as a vital resource. The Pyrenees, the ocean and the forest have taught me to appreciate purity and strangely revealed my wonderful gift - that of water diviner. At the beginning of the creation of the association, dedicated to the sleeping Gallo-Roman spring of Saint Géron, I discovered a fantastic story and a true morality. Fully aware of the rarity worldwide of age old sparkling mineral waters, I rediscovered stimulated senses and the taste and elegance of tiny natural bubbles. It’s a source of inspiration for chefs like me. Thankfully devoid of nitrates, it’s perfectly adapted to refined cuisine. It refreshes the palate, without masking wine aromas and highlights food flavors.”

The past never lies

During the 19th century, local industrialist, Jean Casati, commissioned the catchment of the spring, in order to collect water from its outlet in a rocky fault. To this end, an 80-meter ditch was dug. As a result, the water springs from the hill situated in the terroir called, “Font Savade”. Old wooden and stone wells have been found on the site, as well as Gallo-Roman coins, and offerings, confirming that the source dates back to antiquity.

High standards and environment-friendly

The use of wood, stainless steel and aluminum materials allows this building to perfectly integrate the tranquil green landscape. Representing a surface area of 4,200 m2, the bottling line has a capacity of up to 15,000 units per hour. Extremely efficient and boasting the latest technology, this equipment is in line with international health standards.
